Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook about 3 minutes, crumbling as it cooks.

Add onion and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk in beef broth and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil.

Stir in pasta. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally until pasta is tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 10-12 minutes.

Remove from heat. Stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Stir in cheddar cheese until melted, about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Serve hot and enjoy!
